Look-up Please - Headstone Photo and Newspaper Article
« on: Thursday 24 September 15 19:52 BST (UK) »
Is there some kind person who could provide me with a headstone photo of Peter Gordon Taylor, Area 4 Block B Lot No 363 at Waikaraka Cemetery (I already have a note of the inscription).  Also, because of the circumstances of the death, I am hoping that there may have been a newspaper article relating to the car accident which happened on 15 Nov 1953 between Tamaki Drive, Mission Bay and Manukua Road, Epsom.

Hi Ziggie

Waikaraka cemetery is now unattended and the records etc are held at another cemetery in West Auckland which makes it difficult to find plots,I will have a look for you but can't promise anything.

Cheers Janette
